9921, What I'm witnessing here.... Posted by Koku, Wed Nov-28-01 03:06 AM
is a lot of armchair activists shaking their pointer finger at Jay-Z like he has committed the most vile and horrible act by being aware of who Che Guevara was---and wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt. What doesn't Jay-Z know about Che Guevara? You don't know!
>what Che Guevara stands for, that >makes it even worse IMO, >cos it's the complete opposite >of everything Jay-Z's music and >image stands for.
Jay-Z's music and image are not a complete part of his person. They are what >we< the public see, but we don't know all facets of him.
I really don't know what is so wrong about Jay-Z knowing about Che Guevara, and I actually hope he just borrowed the t-shirt from someone because he thought it was cute. Cause it ain't that damn serious.
>>And isn't everybody a hypocrite to >>some extent? > >What are you saying ? > >First : "he's not necessarily a >hypocrite", then : "even if >he is, that's OK".
What I am saying is that there are different sides to a person. What isn't okay for you, might be perfectly okay for me. In your eyes he may not be a revolutionary or an intelligent man, but his friends and family might know him as just that. > >Are you suggesting we don't debate >anything anymore, since there will >always be something or someone >doing worse ?
What I'm suggesting is that Jay-Z was wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt. I think that's a lot less severe of a 'crime' then watching a Muslim guzzle shots of Jaeger and smoke hydro.
Like I said....lay off the brother. You have no idea where he vests his interests, and what he is doing in totality for his community.
Everybody wants to come down on someone when they are willing to open up their eyes. You're not the Original Backpacker or Incense Burner Extraordinare.
How about we just stab Vanity for discovering God, and lick shots at Gangsta Boo for becoming a "Lady".
We are not a perfect people. This includes you, you, and you. _______________________________________________________________
